REST API as an RMI batch file replacement
You can use REST APIs instead of using Remote Method Invocation (RMI) batch files to work with the product.
RMI is a Java™ protocol that allows external applications to communicate with the product. You can use REST APIs and configured API keys to communicate with the product through its REST client. The REST APIs offer similar features to those features that are available with RMI.
The following code sample shows a GET call to the viewQueueDataApi WebMethod in the MIC
AppService service. The URI for the AppService is
http://host:port/maximo/api/sevice/MIC.
Map<String,String> qp = new HashMap<String,String>();
qp.put("action", "wsmethod:viewQueueDataApi");
qp.put("count", ""+count);
if(selector != null)
{
qp.put("selector", ""+selector);
}
qp.put("queueName", ""+queueName);
byte[] data = new RestClient(serviceurl)
.withApiKey(System.getProperty("apikey"))
.withQueryParams(qp)
.invoke();Similarly, you can make a POST call, as shown in the following code sample:
new RestClient(serviceurl)
.withApiKey(System.getProperty("apikey"))
.withQueryParams(qp)
.withMethod(RestClient.HTTPMETHOD_POST)
.invoke(data);//data is a byte[] - request payload
